the end goal is to install rails, no? even if it isn't, i would
recommend james duncan davidson's "Sandboxing Rails with Darwin Ports"
article:
	<http://duncandavidson.com/essay/2006/04/portsandbox>

i have used it several times and haven't had any problems (although
this morning i found that the mysql5 port seems hosed on ppc/10.4.7 -
didn't have that problem on intel last week). i routinely install via
RubyGems and follow james' advice to use port to install ruby
libraries that depend on native code and RubyGems for pure ruby stuff.
it seems a little strange to have a macport for every ruby gem though
doesn't it - how meta.
